3911 Joy, A Deep-Rooted Confidence

Life is complex—messy, complicated, and often frustrating. The waiting seasons, setbacks, and unanswered questions can drain your energy and spirit. No wonder you're exhausted. So when the Bible tells us to "Rejoice in the Lord always" (Philippians 4:4), it sounds almost impossible. However, you can choose joy, a deep-rooted confidence.

Joy isn't about your circumstances lining up perfectly. It's a deep-rooted confidence that God is at work, no matter what your calendar or bank account says.

Life is not always going to give you what you want. In fact, you'll probably end up with more failures than successes.

Yet, even in the dark, there is joy. Not because of what you've done, but because of who God is.

Take Hannah's story in 1 Samuel 2:1-10. She spent years aching for a child, feeling left out and desperate. Finally, God answered her prayers, and the joy she expressed wasn't just happy tears; it was the raw relief and overwhelming gratitude of a promise fulfilled.

God desires to fill your deepest desires, especially when they come from the depths of your gifts and talents. However, you have to be willing to feel what you can't see; joy down in your heart.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Joy, a deep-rooted confidence!

Joy like Hannah's doesn't come from luck or good times. It's not about winning the $1 billion Powerball.

Joy comes from trusting God's faithfulness through every twist and turn. It's a choice when walking by faith. There is no reason for a bold refusal to let hard seasons steal your hope.

And this is what it looks like in your everyday: When frustration or disappointment knocks, push back with joy. Find the things God is doing under the surface—no matter how small. Choosing joy builds resilience, energizes your focus, and sets you up to tackle your day on your feet, not your knees.

This Advent, stop waiting for joy to land like a jackpot. Claim it now as the power that fuels your faith forward. Rejoice—because joy doesn't depend on the outside world; it's born inside, from a relationship with a God who keeps His promises.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
